Resin over tarmac and concrete across Warwickshire
A resin overlay is a resin bound surface laid directly on top of an existing tarmac or concrete driveway that is still sound. It is the cheapest way to get a resin drive because there is no dig-out, but it only works when the old surface is level, stable and free of active cracking.
Small cracks can be cut out and repaired, loose edges rebuilt and hollow spots filled before the resin goes down. Large failed areas, sinking, tree-root damage or a surface that rocks underfoot mean the base has to come out, and that is quoted as a new driveway instead.
Projects we quote in and around Nuneaton include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build.
Prices in Warwickshire
Guide prices for Warwickshire are based on West Midlands rates, which are close to the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin over tarmac and concrete: £45–£70 per m².
Worked example: a 32 m² drive in Warwickshire laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,450–£2,250. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £2,400–£3,850.
Planning in Warwickshire
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. An overlay on sealed tarmac or concrete does not drain through the old base, so the drive needs to fall towards a lawn, border or soakaway on your land, or the old base comes out for a permeable build.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
Weather and working days
The West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
